I was a heavy user of k8s at a previous company. They had a very talented and decently sized devops team. They made my life as a customer very easy, so much so that I assumed I could just spin up k8s on my own for a side project. I was surprised how much work it was to get something online.
Same. I got tired of Pihole breaking for one reason or another (although I certainly adore the project). NextDNS works extremely well, provides a native app for every device, runs on my router, and is dead simple to maintain.
This is not a political debate, just pointing out things that are unclear, missing or potentially alienating many customers.

The claim doesn't logically hold together: it assumes a monopoly in medicine. It might not be profitable for the company with a treatment regimen to develop a cure. But for the company without the treatment regiment to develop a cure and take away all of a competitor's business and capture a significant part of it as their own? That's extremely profitable. You can charge far more for a cure than for a regular preventative treatment (per dose) so margins are far higher even if volume over time is lower. Suffice it to say cures are sufficiently profitable to enough of the actors in the system that they are worth exploring. And there is evidence of cures being researched successfully as referenced in the comment above. Also, I don't think all pharma companies are perfectly 'rational' actors in this sense. They are composed of people who got into medicine with the interest to help people, and those people know both cures and vaccines help more than just symptom mitigation. The motivation of the actors in the system to do good leads to even more research of cures and vaccines than the non-zero amount that is sufficiently incentivized (even if cures are less profitable than symptom mitigations).
> Everyone else had to play by the same rules until SpaceX doesn't.

> You say it's fair, but certainly if you were in that industry as a competitor it appears as favoritism.

No they didn't. When this was publicly said by a competitor when the challenge to the amendment was filed, and exasperated FCC official literally said publicly that anyone is, and has always been, able to do things the way that SpaceX is doing, and in fact FCC prefers it. The only reason most companies have not been doing it this way in the past is that SpaceX ends up paying a lot more in filing fees. The argument that SpaceX doing this is somehow favoritism is harebrained. What exactly is stopping the competitors from doing the same?

Whether it's fair or not is also entirely beside the point. That was not what I was arguing at all.

> They also lie to push things through, like rate of decay, speeds offered, latency.

No, they don't. The rate of decay calculations in SpaceX filings have been based on the models FCC expects licensees to use. Yes, they do not perfectly model reality, but they are what FCC wants, and what everyone else uses too. As for speeds offered and latency, well, actual latency as realized in the beta seems well in line with what SpaceX has promised, and while they so far only offer a single speed grade to beta testers, they have demonstrated speeds in line with their original claims to the air force, and presumably will also offer those to customers (at a much higher price point) some point in the future. This is also entirely beside the point.

To be frank, right now you sound like you have read too many dishonest SpaceX hitpieces, synthesized the idea that SpaceX is ran by cowboys who habitually ignore the rules, and are grasping at straws to support it, including quite a bit of moving the goalposts.

I have made a single, factual claim: SpaceX meticulously follows the rulings given out by FCC and FAA. I spend quite a lot of time spelunking FCC filings looking for information about satellites, and I honestly believe it to be true. Can you point to a single actual counterexample? Not "competitor is angry about FCC ruling and claims FCC shouldn't have done something", but an actual FCC ruling or regulation on the books, that SpaceX proceeded to break. Because I do not know of a single example, and that is actually rare for a company in the industry. If you believe such an example to exist, please post it, preferably with a link to the actual ruling they are breaking.

Less than $100/core. That's better than I paid for my Pentium 200Mhz CPU.

On the other hand, I paid less than $30/core for my Ryzen 7 2700X. Now Zen 3 cores are better, so let's compare with consumer chips.

Ryzen 7 5800X is supposed to mainstream (though there have been availability issues) and that's $450 for 8 cores or $56.25 per core.

Really paying for the higher I/O and overall high core count. Does anyone have a chart illustrating the scaling of cores per dollar?
The bottleneck in HDD in this scenario is bandwidth. What you do is split & spread files as much as possible, so your HDD are all serving the same amount of bandwidth. A disk doing nothing is wasted potential bandwidth (unless it's turned off).

There is no such thing as an ethical ad.

Advertising is a cynical deployment of our knowledge of crowd wisdom, media manipulation, and statistics to make people part with their money for things they wouldn't think they needed. Our economy can't handle this kind of reckless consumerism anymore.

Worse yet, we don't need advertising to bolster our media. Unfortunately, the media execs don't realize this yet.

All your metrics are fuzzy, your standards ridiculous. We have far better practices we can deploy than the ones the advertisers use.

Please, stop advertising to us. If that's all you plan to do with this new company, can you please kindly go away?

In this article [1] i see quite a lot of funny examples of false friends for czech to russian translation. Stale is cherstvyj in russian, but in czech cherstvyj is fresh. A corpse in russian is a torso in czech. Shame is attention. A cigarette butt is a cucumber. Toadstool is buckwheat. Looseness is speed. And so on. Some words like zivot in czech are closer to old russian meaning (life) than current (stomach). Between some i can see some other relation. And with some i have no idea how it could coincide that way.

> Time zone is one possible fingerprint data point.

Totally forget that. Oops.

Now for the meat of your comment ...and how many have tested their protections so that their testing site recognize that your device is not unique?

A very good counterclaim was posted in the comments:

I strongly disagree with your findings, Ben. Namely, you list fingerprinting techniques available to browsers, and fail to mention how Safari (and Firefox to some extent) make those methods less precise. Instead, you say

Note that this isn’t a comprehensive list, it’s just examples. When a website analyses all of the data available to it, things get very specific, very fast.

So let me point out where you were wrong about Safari in particular:

• Fonts installed. Safari reports very limited subset of fonts, which does not vary. it is the same for every Safari users.

• Plugins installed. Unsurprisingly, Safari lists just one: PDF reader. Native plugins are not reported.

• Codecs supported for video. The uniqueness checking site reported just H.264 and FLAC. Audio format are not reported at all. There's no mention of H.265 and VP9 which work in my Safari beta version, and no mention of the whole plethora of audio formats which are supported.

• Screen resolution is not the real screen resolution. I'm on 27'' 5K iMac and the screen is reported as 2048 x 1152.

• Media devices attached reported as "audioinput" and "videoinput". It has nothing to do with the actual available media devices.

And incorrect reporting goes on.

As you can see, fingerprinting through browser leaves Safari users very poorly segregated. As long as you running latest OS with latest version of Safari, you are a part of a very broad chunk. You can't be identified through browser fingerprinting along.

This means that the only unique data that you can get are:
a) Language settings. There is no way to work-around this (unless you consistently lie that you solely use English)
b) Time zone. There is no way to work-around this (unless you consistently lie that you solely use UTC)

These things can be predicted anyway with IP address, so it is not perceptibly meaningful in any way. In other words, advertisers can literally give up on detecting when Safari are the browser and rely instead on IP addresses (which can tie into a family (or in some IPv6 cases) a device.

That video was a great explanation, thank you
>I don’t have anything to add on monitoring distance, but both of the affidavits you linked specifically agree with the video that they left and not that they were kicked out, because everyone thought counting was finished for the night. Neither of them claims they wouldn’t have been allowed to stay if they had stayed until the room was empty.

It seems the reason they thought they were done counting is because a supervisor told the counters to go home, and said that they were done counting for the day.

Relevant part from the linked document (paragraph 8):

"Sometime after 10 o'clock p.m., the counting activity slowed. Shortly afterward, a younger lady with long braided but blond hair yelled out to all of them they should stop working and come back tomorrow (the next day, Wednesday November 4th) at 8:30 A.M.. Thereafter, all but 4 election employees left State Farm, leaving just the blond haired lady (who Michelle and I assumed was the supervisor), two older ladies and Regina Waller at the location. This lady had appeared through the night and Michelle and I believed her to be the supervisor."

I think that while it is possible the observers could have just stayed there until everyone left, it is likely that they believed what they were told -- that the counting would finish the next day.

At any rate, it is at best a bad look. I agree that it doesn't prove fraud or anything close. It does, however, look suspicious and IMHO warrants further investigation.
Well said! I remember excitedly buying the OLPC laptop and trying so hard to find ways to make it useful. Same with the first Raspberry pi. This gives me similar vibes.
"It's like saying an engaged couple is divorced because they're not currently married."

The two are nothing alike because banned may have a different connotation for you but its use is proper by the denotation of the word. Your example is not correct by the common connotation or denotation of the word.

For those that down voted my answer I would like to point out that I wasn't the one to originally use the word "banned" to describe the status of the vaccine nor would I normally do so. I was attempting to explain the thinking behind someone else using it.
If you are not wealthy enough to no longer have to work, your employer already controls more than a third of your life, and exerts all sorts of peripheral control through all the pressures necessary to maintain a specific job (location, social trail, etc.). Comparatively, what you describe seems like a non-issue

That seems a bit much. I have a serious dislike for both Trump and the pillow guy, and I have certainly said that Trump was not my president -- I didn't vote for him, and I very much disagree with almost everything he and his followers stand for. Although I never posted it on Twitter.
But that's a long way from advocating sedition, or claiming the election was a fraud. I think that political correctness can go too far, even when it supports my beliefs.
You are right. I am biased by my substack subscriptions list
> So any data that does not fall under that blacklist is free game?

No. That list are data that are considered especially sensitive, and so it's generally prohibited to process personal data of this kind. As far as I can tell it's the strictest part of the GDPR, so it's probably also the easiest to enforce.

If some data doesn't fall into these "special categories", the rest of the GDPR still applies. The GDPR applies to any data linked to natural persons.

Decent summary but a little out-dated on DNS load balancing.

Major cloud services like AWS support health/status checks through DNS these days: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/Route53/latest/DeveloperGuide/re...

It's also trivial to get around the client caching issue, just set a low TTL. Perhaps in the olden days providers had stricter limits on the minimum TTL you can set, but these days you can set it practically as low as you want.

EDIT: as a few commenters have fairly pointed out, TTL can easily be ignored by poorly-behaved ISPs and clients, so I'll admit calling it "trivial" to get around is not exactly accurate.
You know what is surprising? A lot of people will easily accept those face scanners too :/

In theory that works. In practice it rarely does. Docker et al gained popularity because they made it way more practical for projects to be managed as the world works rather than as it should be, for good or ill. Before Docker it was moving old applications to VMs and before that it was running them in chroot horror shows.

And if they find a bug, than disable the software whole-sale until it is tested by regulators again (since it can introduce new bugs as well)

That calculation is definitely an important consideration but "reparability" does not have to mean "keep an outdated machine running indefinitely".

Reparability includes design that enables troubleshooting.

For example: Run the "$x to fix versus $x+$y" on a non-functional fridge. A fridge designed for repair might have a thumb-screw panel for access to the logic board with clearly labeled test pads for fuse continuity. This (or other, similar repair-friendly designs) would allow you to more easily determine the value of "x" and more accurately assess whether "x" is small enough to make repair the more viable option.
Ah, interesting. My back has gotten significantly stronger and that has also taken a lot of load off my arms. I've been working on "legs then back then arms" and keeping my back straight, and with a good pull from my back, my arms can almost coast.

There were a lot of similar pen-based PDAs and tablet PCs released around the same time as the Newton. Though I think all of them were as commercially unsuccessful as the Newton. E.g. the Amstrad PenPad. The Newton was not really something people compared to, though - it got compared more to PalmPilot and similar PDAs. It makes sense to put it in the mix of precursors, by all means, but at the time people didn't really draw that parallel.

The "second generation" tablets were very much treated as a separate category from Newton, PalmPilot, PenPad etc. on one hand, and Tablet PCs on the other hand, in that they tended to be built around internet connectivity and browsers as more important even that portability (you were expected to use them around home or the office), and with media consumption as an essential element. The marketing assumption was that people would have a PDA for work, and tablets would be media devices that were largely separate things.

The second generation devices, including ours, and Ericssons, and a number of others, flawed in that they were still too low res (though much better than the "first generation" like the PenPad or Newton), too expensive, and too slow to be attractive for anything but techie early adopters, and with abysmal battery lifetime which meant they couldn't compete with the PDAs, and you were basically chained to home. This was also before wifi was widespread, and various alternatives were still competing for the wireless space - e.g. ours had a data extension to DECT.

Apple's greatest stroke of genius with respect to the iPhone and iPad wasn't primarily technical, but to recognise that it was too early and the hardware wasn't up to it, and wait instead of releasing a sub-par product. "Everyone else" launched tablets as the next step after PDAs around '99-'05 or so, didn't get any traction, and gave up or failed and then a lot of us subsequently laughed at Apple, because "everyone knew" something like the iPhone even wouldn't work.

That's not to say I assume we'd have competed if we'd waited, but we'd at least had a much better shot. There was a very distinct failure to understand the gap between the quality that was exciting to a tech audience vs. what would be exciting to a wider market... That was a very useful lesson.

Ask HN: Did you manage to recreate remote coffees?
After the COVID-19 outbreak, in my company we managed to do everything remotely. After the initial trouble, we did remotely all the things that looked impossible to do outside the office: 1-1s, meetings, workshops.

Only one exception: the coffee break. The occasional chit chat which happened in the coffee area has not been substituted from any call, even the most informal one. In fact you don't schedule a coffee, you just go there and find a colleague. It's great for teambuilding and company culture.

We tried to do remote coffees but the magic doesn't happen.
Do you know anyone who tried to replace this moment with a remote tool or way to do it?
